Bug#1003530: lintian: Hangs when checking some .dsc file



Control: notfound 1003530 2.114.0
Control: close 1003530

Hi Mattia,

Thanks for the info. For the local test: I ran the test on my machine and it
took slightly less than 1 hour to finish. I didn't know that recent lintian
could take that much time for a full test. Looks like this is a duplicate of
https://bugs.debian.org/993613 , so I am closing this bug report.

Thanks,
Boyuan Yang
